Homeland by George Sluizer


A vitriolic new documentary from the director of "The Vanishing" revisits the Israel/Palestine conflict.Posted 10/21/2010 500 AM by Alison Willmore

Dutch filmmaker George Sluizer made a trilogy of documentaries entitled "Land of the Fathers" that followed two Palestinian families through their experiences in 1974, 1978 and 1983 -- the last, "Adios Beirut," he mentioned was sold to PBS but never broadcast. With "Homeland," one of the films making its world premiere at Abu Dhabi, Sluizer revisits those two families, now spread out over Lebanon, Colombia, the U.A.E. and other locations, and also puts himself and his feelings about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict center stage.
Sluizer will present his film on saturday december 11th in Tunis - Tunisia
He is invited by the Dutch Embassy in Tunis
The European organization Vanuit het Zuiden
The tunisian Association of Court Métrage et du Documentaire
